SAMUEL PAULL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

LINING-FITTING FOR LADIES GARMENTS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 1, 1912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL PAULL, a citizen of the United States, and residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lining-Fittings for Ladies Garments, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to what are known as lining fittings for ladies garments and particularly to linings of ladies gowns, coats or similar garments or the patterns from which such linings are made, and the invention consists of a new means for making linings for such garments which means may also be used as the lining if desired, and with this and other objects in view the invention consists of a lining or a pattern for a lining of a garment of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification of which the accompanying drawing forms a part in which the separate parts of my invention are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 shows my improved lining or a pattern for a lining and the method of its use in fitting the same to a person. Fig. 2 a transverse section of the garment or pattern on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

In the practice of my invention I form of any suitable material a garment such as that shown in Fig. 1 which is intended to fit the body of a person from the neck to and below the hips and which is originally cut or formed so as to roughly fit such person, and having the general lines, and the desired waist, neck and shoulder measurements. This garment is made open at the front as shown at a, and may be pinned or otherwise secured together and in practice, or in forming the lining of a gown, coat or other garment, or a pattern for the lining of such gown, coat or other garment, longitudinal slits b are formed at all points of full or unusual development such as the bust, hips,

and if necessary at the back of the hips, and back of and below the shoulders, and in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing one of these slits b is formed over each bust or each side of the breast, and one is formed over each hip, and one at the back of the hips as indicated at b in said figure.

In the formation of the lining of the garment, as shown in Fig. 1, or the pattern of said garment, the same is made to closely fit the body, and as will be understood this operationspreads or opens the slits b. In practice the slits b are provided with flies b at each side thereof and these flies may be formed integrally with the body of the lining or pattern or they may be formed separately and be secured thereto, and in forming the exact size at the points named the flies b are overlapped as shown at I) in Fig. 2 and pinned or stitched together and to the body of the pattern or lining.

It will be understood that in the operation of overlapping the flies b as above described one is passed backw ardly and through and the other folded outwardly of the slits b and this produces the result shown at the left of Fig. 2 and by these means the exact form and dimensions of the person for whom it is desired to make a garment of the class specified can be obtained at all the points named, and it will alsobe understood, as hereinbefore stated, that a lining or a pattern for a lining of a garment may be fitted in this way so as to exactly conform to the shape and dimensions of the person for whom the garment is to be made. My invention is therefore defined as a method of or means for fitting garments or forming patterns or linings for garments of the class specified.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is-- The herein described means for fitting linings for ladies garments, which consist of a form garment made of any suitable material and out to approximately fit the person for whom the garment is intended, said form garment having all of its joining edges permanently secured with the exception of the portions Which extend over the enlarged as my invention I have signed my name in portions of the body, and semi-circular flies presence of the subscribing Witnesses this provided upon the edges of the unsecured 92nd day of May 1912.

portions, one of said flies being adapted to 5 be secured on the inside of said garment and SAMUEL PAULL' the other of said flies being adapted to be se Htnesses: cured on the outside of said garment. G. MULREANY, In testimony that I claim the foregoing 1 S. ANDREWS.
